My angel
by: Jennifer on Thu, Jul 19 2007

I hope my story gives hope and a knew found belief in miracles. I was 14 weeks pregnant when my husband and I decided to have a first trimester screening done of the baby. We traveled into the city for the testing. The lab technican discovered a mass in my left kidney and I was sent that day for further testing. It was kidney cancer. So at 15 weeks pregnant I had my kidney removed. It was stage one so all the treatment I needed was the surgery. I never had a sign or symptom that something was wrong. Never in my life did I have a kidney or bladder infection. 6 months later I went on to have a beautiful baby girl. Healthy as can be. Can you imagine how blessed we feel. We believe she was sent to save my life. Remember we chose to have a test that was optional. Imagine if we didn’t. Life could have been so different. I am one year cancer free, looking forward to 50 more years. Believe in miracles. I was one.
